Its from the "stuff". The water doesnt count. At least thats here in the UK. I wouldnt imagin that there would be a difference...
Anyway, as far as I understand it, if you were on the Atkins diet, you are allowed 20g of carbs per day. However, this is a vastly reduced amount. If you are on a "low carb" diet, you are allowed 50g per day. 66g of carbs is quite high for one meal, but the point is, that porridge is great for a full feeling all day, meaning your overall intake of carbs will be less in the longrun as your body wont crave them. Porridge is good! Keep at it. Unfortunatly the stuff makes me gag. Literally
